Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The documentary Born Rich is an interesting analysis of how people are born into money. In this time of economic crisis, as many of us struggle to pay our bills on a regular basis, it is both interesting and maddening to hear about the problems of the super rich. There are certainly moments in this film where you realize that the absurd society in which these kids were born into has transformed them as they aged, and you feel bad for them.They start out so innocent as they describe their childhoods, unaware of the massive wall that the upper class has built around them. And as they mature and grow into adulthood the money twists them and burns away all true moral value. And by the end of the film they are portrayed as snotty brats who complain that it's hard for them not to walk into a boutique in Hollywood and buy a $700 handbag. Or how the first two things they think of when entertaining the thought of marriage are: prenuptial agreement and divorce. Oh the challenges we face in life. It all makes for a sickening experience. And the way they cling to their entitlement is quite interesting as well. One character in the film discusses going to college so that he can make something of himself. He talks about the day that he can rub his parents faces in the fact that he did something on his own and made something of himself. Which would mean something if he weren't attending an ivy- league school on his parents dime. The whole film reeks of self-gratifying posturing that these rich elitists immerse themselves in day after day. It is an interesting film however if you have the stomach for it.-A. Leonhardt

This was a subject that sounded so intriguing at first, but would have been better had a 'professional' come in from the outside and filmed a documentary, not Jamie Johnson who made what looks like a first year film students piece of work. His voice is torture to listen to and of course being the maker he has to narrate it...There was no one I found interesting in the slightest bit here because it felt like the heirs were in control telling the story. Again, someone from the outside should have come in to really get a sense of what effects being born rich has on them. Waste of time, this documentary. A real piece of crap.

I have to say when I first came across the idea of this film, I was a bit repulsed. The idea of listening to a bunch of rich kids whine about how hard it was to be rich was unappealing. After watching, I'm very happy I gave this film a chance. Jamie Johnson has real potential as a film maker. Like any film, Born Rich is meant to manipulate your emotions to get you interested in the story. What surprised me is how effective it was at doing this. Most people in the reviews I've read remark on how some of the people in this film are evil incarnate, like the model, the "baron" Carlo, and Luke Weil. This film got me thinking what kind of a childhood would have driven them to act in this manner. What morals, if any, were instilled in these kids to make them think their behavior acceptable?I, like many other reviewers, were struck at how composed and poised Ivanka Trump was. If Real Estate doesn't work, she should seriously consider politics!Personally, the character I related to most in this film was Georgina Bloomberg. As a fellow equestrian, I understand what she is going through. I spent a lot of money on my show horse, more than the value of some people's homes. Every time I win a show, I constantly hear people saying how it was my horse, or my expensive trainer, who caused me to win, not my own hard work and dedication. It takes a lot of self- confidence to face that kind of criticism constantly, and to take it gracefully. Overall this was an excellent film! I highly recommend taking the time to watch it.

Worth seeing. I wasn't as offended by the world-view presented as others were. These are very young people grappling with enormous privilege, which unsurprisingly, is its own circle of Hell. Ironically, their struggles are not very different from anyone else's. "What am I going to do with myself?" is something everyone asks. Not having to work is just the other side of having to work. Ultimately, we all still have to make our way in this world. But, one does get a sense of the truism of Thoreau's comment that(paraphrase)"to be born rich is not to be born at all, but rather, still-born." I saw this on HBO and watched Indian Point, another documentary, right after. There was Robert F. Kennedy, another child of privilege, hard at work doing something that matters to him. The individuals who are struggling in Born Rich could benefit by watching him at work and learning how to live.
